<content:encoded><![CDATA[Reed conducted a recent survey and found 80% of UK workers take under 30 minutes for lunch

When asked how they spent their lunch hours, a third of workers (33%) venture out for some fresh air and a walk, however, another third (33%) continues working straight through their lunch hour or uses the time to visit clients and customers. The remaining 19% surf the internet; 13% run errands, whilst only 2% go to the gym.

The statistics also revealed that workers might be feeling the pinch from the credit crunch. A total of 81% would never spend more than £5 on their lunch; 43% bring their own lunch into the office every day; 16% buy lunch from local supermarkets and 5% purchase sandwiches from a food supplier visiting their office. Just 17% spend their money eating in local cafes and restaurants.
